A throwback blog post! “I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27 Peace.

Mother’s Day. So bittersweet. The sweet Four amazing Littles who call me “Mama.” Joy and light and laughter And yet, the bitter pill is hard to swallow. Seven Mother’s Days without my own. The first few years, I just ignored it. Skipped church. Stayed in. My littles were small enough. They knew no different.… Read More I Will Say “Happy Mother’s Day”

A throwback blog post! I DID IT! Eons ago, I “helped” my mother can. We canned green beans and tomatoes and peaches…and a myriad of things that I don’t even remember.

ALL ABOUT ME

...ok, maybe not ALL, but how about a bit? :-) My name is Carrie, which, in the German, means "Song of Joy." I would say that is very apropos! I love music, to sing, to play... I love to laugh, particularly with my husband and my four munchkins... I love my Jesus, who is the one who fills my heart with joy, even in the midst of sorrow... I love sharing the journey that my family is on as we figure out the balance of healthier eating and cleaning and becoming homeschoolers and traversing our adventures in this life... I love that you are coming on this journey with us! Hitch your wagon and let's follow this star together!
